According to a recent volume on Auschwitz, 85% of the SS who 'worked' in Auschwitz were never prosecuted post-war. I suppose 70 years late is better than never.

My goodness isn't there a time to forget, if not forget, forgive? What possible good is served by trying these old timers? Suppose you were in a war setting and were assigned to a particular duty. Failure to obey an order in wartime can result in summary execution, esp in the SS. Will the Israelis prosecute its soldiers for crimes against the Palestinians? The only defense there would be , ' I was just following orders'.

Gehenim for these 50 and anyone else whio partook in heinous crimes against Humanity and the Almighty!

from the catholuck church !

try to commemorate Israeli athletes murdered in Munich in next Olympics.

NOT ONLY WAS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH COMPLICIT IN AIDING NAZIS TO ESCAPE TO SOUTH AMERICA, BUT SO WAS THE RED CROSS.

Better late than never...

It was Ben Gurions and the Labor Mapams Terrible Moral Failure That they did not hunt and Target These sadistic Barbarians after WW2 was won or at least train a cadre of Three hundred Holocaust Survivors to do so.

Jews need to stop grovelling to the ancestors of mass murderers. Israel should have never taken blood money from them.

Germany's doing the right thing? After how many years? Just hang 'em. That will ring true to my soul. Nothing less will. Germans being Germans. Stop with the fantasy and pretense of being civilized. We all know what being civilized means. Everyone knows Germany falls well short of the mark. Hang the war criminals, and maybe I'll change my mind. Maybe.

I'll give the Jews this: they don't forget! Wouldn't want them hunting me down; they WILL get their man/men!!!!!!

I've often wondered the same thing? Why didn't they have assassination squads target ex-Nazis? They went after the Pal killers of Munich, why not the evil men of Naziism too??

I say : "How could you ? " It is beyond my comprehension. As for trying those guards who are 90, it is a bit late in the day !

Now YNet show this ! WE SHALL NEVER FORGET OR FORGIVE ! Surely such beastly, depraved behaviour does not deserve forgiveness.

No one can condone the activities in the camps. Forgiveness benefits, psychologically, more the forgiver than the forgiven. It is unhealthy to harbor hatred in ones mind and soul. As an alternate, why doesn't Israel extradite them . If convicted, you can publicly hang a bunch of 90 year old men . What a plesant sight that would be. But, then what grounds would Israel have to extradite them..... crimes were allegedly committed in another country and Israel didn't exist then. Or they could do a massive illegal kidnapping a la Eichmann. Let it rest, close the chapter, let go of the hatred.... you'll be a bigger person and feel better.

How DARE you tell us what we should think and feel? Both my parents are gone now, but they were concentration camp survivors, whose families were slaughtered. The nightmares never went away. By the way -- does being ninety years old earn someone a free pass from their crimes? In twelve years, Charles Manson will be ninety. Should he be released from jail and allowed back into society? Nazi war criminals should be hanged. Publicly or otherwise. They are monsters masquerading as human beings. They carry the blood of millions on their hands. Some things are just unforgivable. Hanging them would make a most pleasant (note proper spelling) sight. Moreover, Israel has every right to extradite them. Just like it did with Demjanjuk. Perhaps you ought to educate yourself with respect to Nazi war crimes. It is clear that you know nothing. Take some cyanide. You'll be a bigger person and feel much, much better. And I'll feel great!

They did their duty. Sieg Heil my friends.

40 of these guards are over the age of 90. I'm sure that the Jews slaughtered by the Nazi's would have settled for a lot less. Even if just a few days more.
